Notes

[1]Written on a memo addressed to Lenin by the Business Manager
of the Council of People’s Commissars, V. D. Bonch-Bruyevich,
who pointed out the urgent need for building public baths with
disinfection chambers at Moscow’s railway stations in order to
combat an imminent epidemic of typhus.

The document bears a note by Semashko: “Z. P. Solovyov.
A commission should be set up... to urgently consider the
matter. Dr. Levenson is instructed to take the initiative in
convening a conference.”
